A combined all-time Test XI from India and England

#10 Fred Trueman

Trueman was the first bowler to pick up 300 Test wickets

‘Fiery Fred’ did not take too long to showcase the abiding damage that he was capable of. In his debut Test, the Yorkshireman wreaked havoc on an unsuspecting Indian batting lineup by chastening them to 0/4 on his home ground.

He was the first bowler to reach the landmark of 300 Test wickets and did so at an average of 21.57 whilst striking at almost once every 49 balls. Not the one to mince any words, Trueman was an equally interesting personality off the field as well.
